You pick the plays, call the defense, snap the ball, while the computer simulates the game based on pro football statistics. Do you have the ability to craft a hall of fame team or one that will become an embarrassment to the game of Football?

Trivia:

According to David Coons, one summer a "student programmer came in during a weekend and instead of typing IN (INstall volume, the hard disk cartridge on which all of the project's code was located), typed INV (INitialize Volume) which formatted the disk. With no backup, we spent the next week retyping program code from old printouts." This goes to show why you should always backup your work, since you never know when a summer student might be coming in!
